Bathroom trends 2014.

In this article we look into the beautiful world of bathrooms highlighting the newest trends coming out of the industry this year.

 Marble and Onyx Panels

Pieces of onyx and marble make any bathroom unique.

We see a trend where big panels, full cladding and book-matching define a mix of contemporary furniture and ancient looks in stone.

White, white and white

There is no doubt that white is still one of the hottest colours this year.

Materials such as Bianco Carrara, Calacatta Oro, Statuario and Gioia remain popular.

With big players such as Apple, Samsung and Fiat working using white on their designs; we forecast white is here to stay at least for the short and medium term.
